:::While I am not opposed to this idea, something worth noting is that different emojis show up on different platforms, and some are even exclusive to some platforms. An example I can think of off the top of my head is the various LGBT flags, which are shown on certain devices as the white flag (you know, the one famous for its association with <s>France</s> surrenders) and different sex symbols by it.

::::I fly that very flag on my Twitter, and while its appearance changes, it's pretty much the same between my Windows Laptop and iPhone.

:::::I can confirm that on Windows 7 a lot of emoji either don't display as a single character (like shrugs always turn into box box shrug, on rare occasions one is a sex symbol) or just as a box. Your sig properly shows the wolf but the fox is just a box. I took a quick look at Twitter and it seems they quietly convert emoji into images so they can display consistently, as the pride flag shows me two boxes or a box and a rainbow. My thoughts are that as long as the name part of the sig is in normal characters (which is already suggested in the main page) and there aren't, let's say, 10+ emoji then it is fine. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 20:52, July 10, 2020 (EDT)
